Chapter 268: Golden Gun
After Alex left her dorm room, Nina collapsed on her bed. The words he had spoken about putting his life in danger while remaining in Mexico, all for the sake of her, continued to ring throughout her head. Of course, in the very next moment, she shook her head in an attempt to come back to reality.
What was she thinking? Alex was a bad guy… Like a really bad guy… Not only did he have a harem of women that was getting close to thirty in number. But he was also a cartel boss. He killed people, and directly contributed to the sale of drugs internationally.
In what world would it be a good idea to get involved with such a guy? Speaking of which… Why had she spent so much time and effort looking into his potential enemies, just so she could alert him in advance? Since when was it her job to get on the bad side of such powerful and dangerous people?
Nina was starting to regret ever getting involved with Alex. But at the same time, her mind compelled her to do so. Almost as if there was something irresistibly attractive about a man her world normally hates.
This was, of course, Alex’s skill [Siren’s Call Tier II] At work. By simply speaking with the opposite sex, he had an effect on them that would compel them to be attracted to him. Both physically and mentally, his words, no matter how horrible, were hard to resist.
When combined with the game that Alex had perfected over his previous life, Alex was able to convince even Nina who hated guys like him the most, into liking him. And without much effort at all on his part.
Of course, Nina didn’t know about any of this, and instead found her body in a heated state, as she slowly began to dip her fingers into her panties and masturbate to the man who had caused her to live in a life of fear.
But for the briefest of moments, when she thought about him, and touched herself to the thoughts of his face, this overwhelming dread disappeared entirely, and was instead replaced with a sense of solace.
Alex didn’t even have to do anything more. As he drove back to La Madre’s mansion, he saw that Nina’s opinion of him was rising, and quite quickly at that.
[Nina is thinking about you!]
[+5 Affection from Nina!]
[Nina’s Affection: 35/100]
[Nina is thinking about you!]
[+5 Affection from Nina!]
[Nina’s Affection: 40/100]
[Nina is thinking about you!]
[+5 Affection from Nina!]
[Nina’s Affection: 45/100]
[Nina is thinking about you!]
[+5 Affection from Nina!]
[Nina’s Affection: 50/100]
It was only after hitting the halfway mark to being conquered that Nina’s affection stopped raising. Alex could take a guess about what had happened after he left the girl’s room. And smirked smugly in response. As he found himself pulling up into La Madre’s driveway.
The armed men simply nodded at Alex, knowing that this man was their superior. And after all that he had done for the Zetas, he was now a legendary figure in their ranks. Theoretically, the CIA’s plans to fracture Los Zetas into two factions, one with Alex at the head, and the other with La Madre leading their ranks, was entirely plausible.
If Alex were to turn on La Madre or vice versa, the most powerful cartel in the world would split into two halves. Causing an even bloodier Drug War than the previous one. But Alex had been warned of these plans, and was determined now to do everything he could to prevent this.
Thus when he returned to the Mansion, and saw the mature and beautiful Mexican Drug Queen dressed in a shimmering gold bikini while sitting in her pool, cooling off while drinking a margarita, he decided to make strides with her.
Stripping out of his clothing so that he was dressed solely in his compression shorts, Alex jumped into the pool with a splash as he swam up to the woman and got close to her.
“And how is my most beautiful Queen doing today?”
It was no secret that La Madre had already begun to fancy Alex. Even he could tell she was eying him all the time with a certain degree of lust. Unfortunately, the system outright forbade him from conquering the woman, or making any significant advances against her until after he finished conquering the rest of the heroines.
Thus, it came as no surprise when the mature beauty pressed her finger against Alex’s nose, pushing him away as she did so. With a flirtatious smile on her gorgeous face, the Mexican Drug Queen scoffed at Alex’s attempts to flirt with her.
“Boy… You’re cute, but you and I both know if you weren’t a white boy, there’s a possibility that I could be your mother. So stop with your nonsense, it can only be adorable for so long…”
Alex simply scoffed and feigned offense to this as he backstroked back into the pool. Flaunting off his chiseled figure as he did so.
“Your loss…”
This remark caused La Madre to laugh at him as she continued to watch the boy swim in the exceptionally large and deep pool with a pretty smirk on her face. Alex, of course, eventually got out of the pool and returned to his room to shower.
When he got out of his shower, he found a surprising gift on his bad. It was something he did not expect, but it was a gilded gun. To say that this 1911 was gold plated would be inaccurate. Alex could tell at once glance that a far more detailed and intricate process had gone into making this gun gold.
It was a process known as gold damascene, and if Alex was being honest, he thought this distinctive way of detailing firearms went extinct during the 20th century. But evidently not, as the 1911 handgun was finely detailed with the finest golden inlays.
Curiously enough, the handle scales were made of finely carved ivory, and had the letters “AS” inscribed in the center out of what was clearly 24k gold. Alex had no idea what artisan La Madre had contracted to make this exceptional and functional work of art for him. But he didn’t care. From now on, he would be carrying a golden gun, a symbol of his status as a drug lord.
